Abstract: This report provides an overview of the waivers that have been granted by the Department of Education in response to the Gulf Coast hurricanes; three public laws that have been enacted, specifically to provide financial relief to postsecondary students and institutions of higher education (P.L. 109-66, P.L. 109-67, and P.L. 109- 86); and education-related hurricane relief funding provisions included in FY2006 defense appropriations (P.L. 109-148), FY2006 supplemental appropriations (P.L. 109-234), and FY2007 supplemental appropriations (P.L. 110-28). The report concludes with a detailed analysis of how funds made available through P.L. 109-148 have been allocated to states.
